I have an invoice master template and in this invoice, as seen in the attached picture in the link. I have several columns. Column B (Item Description) is data validated with a list and then the other columns contain vlookup formulas to find corresponding information from a product list.

What I am trying to do and what this post is about, is the following: I would like to have the flexibility to enter an item in the item description using the list drop-down menus and the corresponding information to be filled in (this works fine at the moment) as well as this I would like to have the other option to manually enter an item code and then the corresponding values to be entered in the other columns including the item description.
My thinking was to for the data validated cells in column B to also contain a vlookup formula (to my knowledge this is not possible) and that way Column A and Column B would be connected both ways and would give me the flexibility that I am looking for. I am unaware of this being possible so therefore I only see VBA as being the only solution. However, I would not know where to start at this moment.
If anything is unclear please ask away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
